Americans can apply online for a DTV while in America, but my question is, how would they know if you weren't in America at the time of applying?

Has anyone been in this situation and had no issues?

AND

For Thai soft-power reasons does anyone have any additional info for what's required... like how many medical procedures must I have planned and over what period of time to be able to use the recommendation letter?

Thanks!

Follow-up question: would an American applying in Taipei have to provide IRS tax documents and other nonsense? Seems applying in USA has tons of extra document nonsense like IRS tax documents, but do Americans applying from other consulates or embassy’s (ie Taiwan, Cambodia, etc.) have to provide it?

Have any American self employed people people received the DTV?

A question specifically for Americans that applied for the DTV in Vientiane through the remote worker option: Did the Thai embassy require your tax returns? TIA

I'm trying to sign up with an application similar to this using an American passport while residing in Thailand. Currently having no luck. Any suggestions on getting through these or other applications which might be more viable? Mainly for receiving payments. Thank you.

Sounds like all the people who said they know... still don't know, the same as the rest of us.

What is the most cost efficient way for my family and I to stay in thailand for a year or more.

We are American.

Allow me a question please... about retirement visa process for Americans... I'm over 50 and have pensions... my SSAN alone is over the 800,000 baht requirement...

Recently, I obtained a "pdf" soft-copy letter from the US Social Security Admin... Thai immigration says get the US Consul in Chiang Mai to authenticate it... I've contacted the Consul... but their automatic responses are as clear as mud...

Do I make an appointment for notary services or what? They have more info about what they will not do... than what they, will do to help citizens in Thailand.

Any Americans in Thailand who have dealt with this stamping/notarizing and accomplished this?

Informed input will be appreciated. T I A

Hello, hope you can answer this. Is there an area in Thailand where a lot of retired Americans live?

Thank you
